Much of the ATP animals generate goes to running one protein pump, the Sodium/Potassium pump, found in all muscles and nerves. Let's apply our understanding of cellular energy to this dynamic system.
Preview the introduction to a case study about the nervous system. Review the questions but don't try to answer them yet.

Proceed to the next animation
Bring the cumulative quiz results to class for discussion. (note: although animations repeat, the quizzes are different)
ANIMATION 1-3: SODIUM POTASSIUM PUMP
ANIMATION 4-5: CHEMICALSYNAPSE
ANIMATION 6 : NERVE IMPULSE
ANIMATION 7 : TRANSMISSION ACROSS A SYNAPSE
ANIMATION 8-9: VOLTAGE GATED CHANNELS AND THE ACTION POTENTIAL
ANIMATION 10-11: ACTION POTENTIAL
Student Step 5
Work with your team (both at school and at home) to answer the case questions to part1. AFTER you work through them you can check your understanding and then make corrections to your work (if you did not answer a question correctly then explain what your mistake was).

Part 3: "Pharmacology"
In this section, your group will become a small pharmaceutical company that is trying to develop a drug that can be used in the hospital to treat tetrodotoxin poisoning. There is no antidote to tetrodotoxin poisoning. Therefore, it is extremely important that your company is successful in this endeavor.
Your company will have a page on our class wiki to advertise your product (you may post pictures and text to the page, create and upload a video commercial to your page, or upload a glog). You need to include the following:
Your Company Name: What do you want to call your company? Be creative!
Name of Your Drug:
Mechanism of Action: Describe how your drug will work. Be sure to provide details regarding its action. You are now familiar with the activity of this toxin at the level of molecules and cells, so your description should contain details of how your drug works at that level.
Some of your information will come from your understanding of what tetrodotoxin does to neurons. There is no right or wrong answer to how your drug will work because there currently is no drug to treat this problem. You may want to do some research on drugs that have actions at neurons (specifically sodium ion channels) and diseases that involve sodium ion channels. This will help you develop your drug.
